The Plan

We are going to work on our targets that we started picking in the Target Discovery Exercise.
First, we will review those and see if they are good.
Order overlap primers for our targets (we need these before we can start cloning for 'real')
While we wait on the primers, we will express, purify and characterize YopH & FtHap enzymes - 2 current VDS targets.
-- may also do NDM-1 and RpFabG

Then we will do some practice cloning procedures to teach you guys the new DNA cloning skills.
Then we will proceed to work on cloning our targets
Then we will express, purify and characterize our targets.
Then we will perform enzyme activity assays to see if our targets work
Then we will carry out inhibition assays


Lab Safety:

Have you complete your lab safety trainings?

Things to Keep in Mind

Wikispaces no like it when you have more than 3 windows open at a time! It be slow.
Store reagents at the proper temperature & in the right location (e.g. correct freezer box)
Label all reagents (tubes, boxes, liguids, powders) with VDS and Date (also include your initials if it is yours)
Write down everything that you do in lab into your lab notebook
Clean your area when done and return reagents and materials to their 'homes'
